Canadian broadcaster hopes on-air Valentine's Day shout-out keeps him out of trouble

Mark Connolly, a host for the CBC’s Olympics coverage, was hoping to keep himself out of hot water with his wife on Wednesday when he gave her a shout-out for Valentine’s Day.

As he introduced men’s doubles luge to viewers, Connolly said, “What could be more romantic than the Italian team on St. Valentine’s Day? Shout-out to my wife, who I did not send chocolates to, but this counts for more than that, because I mentioned you on national television.”

Hopefully it’s not too late to get something delivered…Mark’s Twitter bio says he also hosts morning radio in Edmonton – getting himself relegated to the doghouse when he returns is a really cold proposition.
